It will remain where it is, according to an ordinance adopted by thecity council at its regular meetingThursday. The ordinance outlines thebounds of the district as extending! north to a point where there was an! acequia in 1S32. and south to Thirdl street, on Broadway This is exactly1 the present location, against which theproperty owners have been figntingi The injunction prayed for againstthe alleged owners of property in thereservation, which it was alleged wereJ rented for immoral purposes, will comei P or a nt-arms in ocpicmuu.AVhether the action of the court at thattime will have any effect on the district as outlined by the ordinanceadopted Thursday morning remains tobe seen. The petitions are asking fortne removal or tne reservation iromits present location, and the ordinanceof the city Council determines that thepresent location shall be the "res-ervation district.The ordinance in itself it rather ambiguous inasmuch as while it fixesthe boundaries of the district, thereis the clause that the ordinance shallin no wise be construed as to interferewith or prohibit the prosecution ofthose found guilt- of a violation of thepenal laws. That those in the reservation are violating the penal laws isthe ground on 'which the petitionersare asking for the removal of the reservation. Reservation Can Be Moved.Mayor Kelly was not present at themeeting of the council. "The ordinancefixing the boundaries of the 'reservation' was merely a question of pilicer egulj tion." was tn statement cl alderman W. S. Clayton. "We war.U-dto have them in a district where theycould be handled. The ordinance willhave no effect on the propositionagreed to some time ago by the citycouncil and those who presented thepetition asking for the removal of thoreservation." If another location issuggested to which the reservation canbe moved, the city will do its part inmoving it there. Of course there Isno law governing the matter.
